OS X Lion Goes Platinum in One Day

OS X Lion Goes Platinum in One Day You guys hear that? That's the folks at Apple chillin' and one hundred dollar billin'. Just a day after they announced comically massive earnings, OS X Lion sold more than a million copies in its first day of sales.

By comparison, it took Snow Leopard a full weekend to sell two million copies, and Leopard took a month to get to two million. [PC Mag]
